The Nightcap Old Fashioned was developed by Three Spirit Drinks as a signature serve for their Nightcap functional elixir, a non-alcoholic spirit formulated with ashwagandha, valerian root, lemon balm, hops, and turmeric. Three Spirit published this recipe to demonstrate that the Old Fashioned format — spirit, bitters, and garnish — translates cleanly to zero-proof without losing complexity or occasion. It became one of the most widely shared functional mocktail recipes from the brand, appearing across independent cocktail publications and the Three Spirit recipe hub.
